About

Noriyuki Abe is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, sensor systems, and human-robot interaction. His key research areas include RFID-based localization, mobile sensing, and assistive technologies for healthcare environments. Abe’s most cited work, “Toward construction of a mobile system with long-range RFID sensors” (2004, 15 citations), introduced a pioneering mobile system that integrates RFID tag sensors for identifying patient locations and monitoring their status in hospital settings. This early contribution laid groundwork for context-aware systems that enable robots and humans to navigate and interact intelligently with their surroundings. By demonstrating how long-range RFID sensors could be deployed on mobile platforms, Abe helped advance the practical use of radio-frequency identification beyond simple inventory tracking into dynamic, real-world applications. Though his citation counts are modest, his work represents foundational steps in mobile sensing and assistive robotics, particularly in healthcare. Abe’s research continues to influence the development of smart environments and autonomous systems that rely on robust, low-cost sensor technologies.
